Show me your Sailing canoe pictures!

I have resuscitated my once healthy sailing interest this summer with a very lichen covered Sunfish and I would love to sail a canoe.
I am hungry for more pictures of sailing canoe rigs, parts and setups.

I have "The Book" and have been reading as much as I can. I have standard canoe old town boats to set up in this way and would love to see what those look like all set up.

I would like to take a canoe on a weekend trip somewhere to paddle (CT to NH) and have the option to sail or paddle on one of the bigger NH lakes. Looking at something like a lanteen with a smaller sail area so I don't overpower things in heavy wind. I also have a standard shape mainsail and jib from an old project boat I may repurpose totalling about 52 square feet.

Thanks!

 

I have a few sent back by sailmaking customers over the years once they got the boat and rig assembled and out on the water.

 

Found a couple more.

 

These are great! I have been scouring all of the sailing canoe pages for pictures.

Benson- that old negative of the boat with a jib- does the sail have an upper spar that gets hauled to meet the mast totally vertical? The luff of my current sail is 10' 4" and maybe that could help limit the height of the mast and use a lighter/skinnier upper spar. Still thinking about it, is a 13' mast a bit tall for a canoe?

Any more pictures of a sloop rig?

 

Wow ! I love these Leg o mutton rigs! Have you seen these rigs on boats without the built in center board? I am fascinated by the center board, seems like those boats are harder to find.

 

I'll toss this one in...

 

Here is another to add to the gallery. This is Stephanie Lynn at the 2014 Assembly at PSC. Stephanie Lynn is a 1943 Old Town Double-End Boat with an after market Sprit Sail rig.

 

And here is another. 1923 Old Town HW with sponsons, AA grade. At Assembly a few years ago.

 

Here is the lateen rig on my 1900 Cedar Rib

Below is the lug sail rig on my Pal.


Both sail beautifully

I’m with Dan. I almost didn’t notice the canoe for the amazing stone building. Nice!

...the sailing canoes are pretty cool too

 

Yea!! Keep them coming!

I've managed to pick up three lanteen rigs in the last few months. Two of them are 40-50s fabric and will need major patching or replacing. I found pima cotton bed sheets I hope to use for making a replacement or a new type of sail all together. Sewing machine is getting tuned up now.

 

Once you are done sewing your cotton sail, order a bottle of 303 Fabric Guard (available from Amazon if you don't have a different source). It's a pump spray and pricey ($27 per quart) but well worth the money. In addition to UV resistance it makes a huge difference in how much water the cotton sail can soak up if you dump the boat.

These Egyptian cotton samples, with and without the Fabric Guard, were dunked in water about ten minutes before the photo was taken. The untreated one was completely soaked immediately. The water just rolled off the treated sample. When dry, they looked exactly the same.
